Microsoft's main business... is extracting money from the government.
Please, elaborate on where Microsoft is getting a hundred billion dollars plus per year from the government.
By an extreme margin Microsoft's main business is productivity software sold to businesses and consumers and has been for 40 years, along with Windows (the majority customers for which are businesses + consumers).
- jongjong 2mo agoThey don't produce anything that people like. Everyone using their products is forced to use it. Their Office suite is foisted on governments. For example, several governments in the EU moved off of it starting a few years back... Many are still on it. Oracle database is essentially never used outside of government nowadays. This has been the case for decades. Government is just locked into expensive contracts with them and they can charge whatever.
